I like how they have Russia as the flag of Europe despite most of the country not even being in Europe, most people would use the EU flag but I guess this is CS 1.6 so they are most likely a fair few Russians about.

A good chunk of Russia is geographically in Europe.

It's a good addition to the running joke about Valve's games that EU servers are Russia West.

So is Holland's. Let's use the Dutch flag for Europe.

Wow, this is really cool. I wonder if in the future, everything will run on the browser, and most software doesn't care about the OS at all. There's even a xkcd comic about this[0]. [0] https://xkcd.com/934/

Technically it can, but money from Appstore, Playstore, Windows Store is too lucrative for the behemoths to give up their hold on them to improve the browser ecosystem & web apps in general.

I would say I really enjoyed it. Although the gaming experience in Safari with a Magic Mouse is odd, the connection is somewhat laggy, and people are constantly (dis)connecting, it worked really well and brought me some sweet memories about playing CS 1.6 a long time ago.

The server is most likely in Saint Petersburg or Moscow which both are very much in Europe.
